RUBBER BALE FEEDER

HOW CAN THE BONNOT RUBBER BALE FEEDER HELP YOU?The Bonnot Rubber Bale Feeder solves the most critical issues manufacturers face to deliver tough, sticky rubber bales to their compounding extrusion equipment. One of the most critical issues is size reduction. Bonnot Rubber Feeders can handle both full and partial sized rubber bales, along with custom sizes. These bales, usually 25kg or 35kg, are fed into our machinery and ingested with ease, utilizing our modern, field tested design. There is no need for any pre-sizing. The bales can be directly fed into our machinery either by conveyor, elevator, robotic arm or manually. There is no more need for talc or special chemicals which are needed for granulation and dissolution. This benefit alone creates a much safer production environment for your employees and will reduce the costs associated with these materials. Furthermore, the decibel level created with our rubber bale feeding machinery is much less versus other alternatives like granulators.

The Rubber Bale Feeder can be fitted with countless special options to meet your specific requirements. Bonnot specializes

in offering a wide choice of auger and barrel

configurations to meet specific output

requirements for processing all types of rubbers

and compounds. Variable-speed drives, jacketed

components and accomodations for pressure

and temperature monitoring on both feed and

extrusion sections can allow for adjustments

to be made for retension time, shear and

production rate. We ensure all Rubber Bale

Feeders are engineered to meet and exceed

peak load requirements.

DESCRIPTIONThe Bonnot Rubber Feeder employs a dual drive design for independent control of the feed and extrusion sections which reduce the output variation to less than +/- 5%. Our Feeder can be directly mounted to a side port of the compounding extruder creating a positive feed. The addition of a gear pump to the system can improve the process control to less than 1%. The use of custom designed screws is also utilized for further process control. Our equipment also comes standard with multiple independent temperature control zones. The zones can be run in series or parallel to temper the product to achieve consistent product flow at a desired temperature. Our system can create just the right pressure and temperature to give the manufacturer maximum flexibility for any type of rubber. Finally, our equipment comes in 4 standard sizes 2”, 4”, 6” and 8” to accommodate many ranges of required output and bale size. The machinery can be further customized to meet other facility constraints such as centerline heights and motor orientations.
